Where do you advertise your web hosting company?
Which sites in specific?

Also, do the websites provide you with statistics on your banner ad?

Thanks.

20 views, and no one advertises?

Just looking to see where most hosting companies divide their advertising money.

Which sites?

Thanks.

I have always found the best form of advertising is word of mouth. Doesn't matter what the business is, word of mouth can make or break a company.

I agree that word of mouth is the best form of advertising, but companies just starting out need to get those mouths in the first place :)

For me, the advertising forums here were great when starting out, as was a showcase spot on FindSP.com. FindSP offers very reasonable rates and according to their stats I had a very high click-thru rate.

Once I got a handful of base users, word of mouth came into play and the customers started rolling in.

Hello,
Besides word of mouth advertising I would look at overture.com and elance.com. They are both really great places to pick up customers.

No one mentioned places like TopHost.com, HostSearch.com, HostCompare.com, etc.

Anyone advertise on those sites or similar?
